It sounds like a lifetime TV movie. Back in high school in Chicago, Sue Napolitano and Larry McNevin were just friends. They wore
18、jackets and were always sitting on the bridge smoking. But neither gave the other a romantic thought. In fact, asked to describe each other back in those days, Sue and Larry both came up with the adjective: “nice”. On Sept. 11, 2004, after 35 years, the high school friends were about to find out how
19、 nice “nice” could be. Larry was looking for another friend with whom he went to high school through C, a service that reconnects high school friends through e-mails. That friend suggested he call Sue. Then Larry and Sue talked from the topics of music to food and found they shared similar tastes. A
20、fter that, they both ran to their closets to dig out their yearbooks to find the others picture. With that one call, Sue, who divorced(离婚 ) in 1985 after five years of marriage, and Larry, who divorced in 1997, began calling and e-mailing each other daily. A month later Sue flew to Chicago. Larry an
21、d Sue hugged and cried when they met at the airport. They were like two lovers separated for years. On April 11, 2005, while the two were in Las Vegas, they got married. After the wedding, Larry said it made more sense for him to move to Phoenix, since he planned on retiring to someplace warm, and f

25、attle with imaginary animals such as the Hydra, a nine-headed snake. Myths are very old and often began as stories handed down from person to person. In 400 B.C. animals were the central characters in some of the first plays ever written. One play was called The Birds, another The Frogs. In these ea
26、rly Greek plays the animals made fun of human weaknesses, particularly politicians of the time. Folk tales were stories told by the common people at first by word of mouth. They usually had a lesson of some sort. For example, an ancient African folk tale told about a crocodile who was very greedy. A
27、nother type of story that came about many centuries ago is the fable. Aesop s Fable(伊索寓言 ) were put into book form in 1484. In all of these stories animals talk and act like humans. Each fable has a lesson buried in the plot. Poems were also popular literary homes for a variety of animals. One of th
28、e first collections of poems for children was the simple Mother Goose, first published in the 18th century. No matter how old or wise you become, will you ever forget the cow who jumped over the moon or the three blind mice? In the 19th and 20th centuries novels have been written about animals. A no
29、vel is a fictitious story, usually much longer than a short story. One of the first animal novels was Wind in the Willows, written in 1908. Its main characters were a rat, a mole, and a toad. 40.

32、mals are important in literature. D. Literature has a long history. C Sometimes the real world can be a confusing place. It is not always fair or kind. And in the real world there are not always happy endings. That is why, once in a while, we like to escape into the world of fantasya place where thi
33、ngs always go our way and there is always a happy ending. We want to believe in fantastic creatures in imaginary lands. We want to believe in magic powers, good friends, and the power of good to overcome evil. We all dream about being able to fly and lift buildings off the ground. And how well a mag
34、ic sword would fall into our hands as we go off to kill a dragon or win the love of a beautiful princess！ The amazing adventures of Superman, Peter Pan, and Harry Potter have attracted many people, children and adults. The main reason is that these stories offer us chances to get away from this real
35、, disappointing world and allow us to find some magical solutions to our problems. For example, Superman always arrives in time to prevent a disaster from happening. Peter Pan can fly freely to make fun of the bad guy Captain Hook, and Harry Potter has his magic power to take revenge on (报复 ) his un

Like most zoos, its goal is to protect wild animals and educate th
40、e public. However, the Louisiana Audubon Nature Center is more than a wildlife center. It has a planetarium (天文馆 ), a forest, and a special frozen zoo that rarely has visitors. Saving species from dying out is the main goal of the Nature Center. Tourists visit the public areas of the Nature Center.
41、But scientists work behind the public areas. They use the place to prevent animals dying out. They hope that the frozen zoo will one day be able to save and keep all the animals alive on our planet. In the frozen zoo, there aren t any live animals in cages. Instead, it has live cells in tiny buildin
42、g blocks of the animals in liquid nitrogen (氮 ) bottles. Liquid nitrogen is very cold and it keeps the cells perfect, so the cells should be safe for hundreds of years. The frozen zoo has over 1,000 different species that are put in nitrogen. If one of these species becomes endangered, the scientist
43、s can unfreeze the cells and bring the species back. Many animals are struggling to survive. But their future is not that worrying, because there are more and more zoos joining the frozen zoo project. And scientists are also working to save habitats (the places where animals live and plants grow). H
44、opefully we will be able to save all species from dying out and give them a safe place to live. 48. What makes Audubon Nature Center a special zoo? A. Protecting wild animals. B.

47、. 1) If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO(联合国教科文组织 ). The place must be important and special.
